Hey -Thanks! I'll let them know. They left this morning. It

was pretty hard on me. I cried the whole way to work and once there

every time someone looked at me I started again- which happened a

lot since I work and have school in a hospital! After about 10 mins

anther rad tech came up to me and said, " Do you need to work? " She

totally understood! I buried myself in work and did fine the rest of

the day.

I think Brad just told them he would need a regular room because

they said they only have 5 suites. I think if he's there for that

long that he'd need more though...I guess they kept telling him that

they have a common kitchen he could use. Only problem is Lucas still

wakes up in the middle of the night for a bottle and they say you

can't have any food or drinks in the rooms! I called and they said

for a necessity they could put a minifridge in the room. Plus he

still naps for a couple of hours out of they day, so Brad will have

to sit there with nothing to do. We'll see.

That's great your appt went well! He is such a cutie! And his feet

look great! Thanks for giving me the number last week. For some

reason I had all of their info (including the address) except for

the phone number!
